Payday fans, we have some not-so-great news to share. It seems like Payday 3 will require a constant internet connection, even when you’re playing solo. This news comes straight from one of the developers who answered a fan’s question.

Find the full Q&A below:

Question: Will Payday 3 have an offline mode? Like playing solo?

Answer: Uh… no. You will be able to play it by yourself, but I do believe you will have to have a connection in order to play (inaudible).

This is a change to the series, as Payday 2 did in fact feature an offline mode that did not require an internet connection. Hopefully, the devs will have more to share as to why this decision was made in the first place, or better, they reverse this decision.

In a recent dev diary, it was revealed that Payday 3 will feature Payday’s original cast with two new heisters, in New York. The game will feature new changes in the heists, including trading your hostages. Software giants, the dark web, surveillance, and cryptocurrencies will also be present in Payday 3.

Payday 3 releases September 21 on Xbox Series X|S, PS5, and PC. It will be available day one on Xbox Game Pass.

Thanks, DANNYonPC
